See, we have to support Portugal unless we want to be endorsing franchise football.

Bale was very dangerous in that first half, but is having a mare of a second 45 mins.
Wales look clueless.

They're a poor side. They were well and truly dominated by a very average England team. Tonight they've been worse, absolutely abysmal.

Two very poor teams. Don't fancy Portugal against the Germans or French. Without Ronaldo they would be awful

It was only 4 teams at one time. In 1976 Wales reached the QFs but were knocked out over 2 legs. Only the semi-finalists went to the tournament which was held over a few days. It was the year Czechoslovakia beat West Germany on penalties with that Panenka penalty to decide it.

Thanks, Wiki.
With Ronaldo they are awful. International football is dead. What an awful tournament.

He means they would be even more awful.

The tournament is clearly in the hands of ze Germans or le French if they bother to turn up for the final.
I have enjoyed the tournament, its been different as a 'one off' but I am not a fan of the extended format. It has a qualifying feel to it, teams like Portugal who just didn't turn up shouldn't have got through the groups never mind get to the final! I would have less issue if that the top two only qualify to make this more competitive, this would stop teams sitting back like Wales and Slovakia did against us and make them come out and attack more.

To get to the final Portugal have played Iceland (D) Austria (D) Hungary (D) in the group, then in the knockout Croatia (1 shot on target) Poland (penalties) and Wales to get to the final.
There is no way you should get to the final of an international tournament only playing that quality of opposition, they've only won one game in the 90 minutes. Shows everything wrong with the format

This year has had a bit of a 'league cup ' feel to it , like the big players don't really want to be there and the reserves are having the time of their lives

No it wasnt. The only embarassmemt was the drunken state of the players. You should celebrate success.

You must be joking. It's a stupid idea. Some complained about the journey this summer...
Midlands to Marseille 880 miles.
Marseille to Lens - 609 miles.
Lens to St Etienne - 453 miles.
St Etienne to Nice - 304 miles
Nice to Midlands - 976 miles.
3222 miles in total.
In 4 years we could face the prospect of going from Baku to Bilbao. That is a 3467 mile journey alone. It's a 60 hour drive (we'd miss the game even if we left at full time in Baku) or 10 hours by plane.
